Licensed to Arne Henden
02:29:19 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:29:19 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:29:19   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:29:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:29:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:29:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:29:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:29:20 Dome is MaxDome
02:29:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:29:21 Imager is ASCOM
02:29:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:29:21 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240311@022847 UTC
02:29:21 Imager readout modes:
02:29:21   0 is Fast
02:29:21   1 is Normal
02:29:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:29:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:29:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:29:21 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:29:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:29:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:29:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:29:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:29:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

02:30:42   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:30:42   (using Fast readout mode)
02:30:42   (starting exposure)
02:31:07   (exposure complete)
